I finally took the plunge and completely took over a room in our home for school. We've been working fluidly around our house and at the dining room table for years and I was ready to have a place to permanently put our things, a place where we wouldn't need to move everything if company came over or if we were celebrating a holiday. It required a little rethinking of how we use other rooms in our home, but homeschooling is a really big part of who we are and how we live. So I claimed the m
Our former “school room” was more like a “school corner.” We were tucked into a small corner in the smallest bedroom in our home, shared with our exercise room and board game storage room. It was getting pretty snug, especially when thinking about my youngest starting kindergarten in the coming months and I’d have two […]

I still treasure the memories I have of my childhood bedroom. The first time I came home after going away to college I remember how surprising it was to walk into my old room. Details that had once been commonplace suddenly seemed brand new—the collage of photos on the bulletin board and my favorite pillows […]

Our homeschool room is right off of our foyer with no door. So I like to keep the room fairly organized and visually appealing since there is a large opening to the room.
Natural light and cozy corners over big closets.
Three years ago if you would’ve told me I’d be here talking homeschool rooms - I would’ve had no clue what you were even talking about. Turns out there is a whole community of homeschool rooms and moms and I absolutely love it!

Next up on my little home tour- the office! I mean play room. Well, it's both actually. Ok, let me explain... Let's start from the beginning. Below is the only photo I have of this room and it was taken before we moved in. I have nothing against a formal dining room, and maybe someday we'll go there... But I work from home and have two small kids and we just needed that space for work and play. Also, there are sliding doors to the back porch in this room, so I wanted to keep it a little more open. I knew I wanted to make this room work for me and the kids. A shared space, if you will. Plenty of desk space for all, a good amount of storage for my crafts, but accessible so the kids could be creative as well. IKEA has a "create your own" space with all different office type configurations. This was perfect since I really just wanted to figure out how to fill a whole wall with two adult desks and one kids desk. None of the pieces are permanently affixed to one another, so we can change out the desk tops, legs, etc. at any time. We'll probably do this soon actually, since the kids are already getting tall for their desk. I know you're probably thinking I'm crazy for keeping everything available to the kids. They can pull books from the bookshelves, crayons are out to draw on the easel, they own one of those drawer units- filled with paper, scissors, markers. And sometimes it is a headache, but usually it's actually not. They are more likely to create on their own terms and for once I'm not pulling something out of the closet for them. It's pretty nice. So there you have it. This is where we work, write, weave, dance, draw and read.
